The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest

When we leave our spaces messy, we are always a few tasks
or priorities away from stepping out and showing up.
HOW TO RESOLVE THIS
Like anything, you need to start slow and adjust yourself
over time. To declutter and reorganize, start with one
room, and if that is too much, try one corner, drawer, or
closet. Work on that, and only that, and then implement a
routine that maintains the organization.
From there, start arranging your space so that it works
for you, not against you. Put something soothing on your
bedside table like a diffuser, or create an organized family
calendar in the kitchen so appointments and schedules are
visible to others. If you have trouble with the mail being
disorganized, create a spot for it to go when it comes in
each day. If you have trouble with laundry being disorganized,
create a system for it and decide on a day or two
that you do the wash, and do it in bulk.
You must slowly let yourself get used to working at a clean
desk, and eventually it will become second nature. You’ll
begin to realize that you also feel so much less stressed
and much more in control of your life.
It is very hard to show up as the person you want to be
when you are surrounded by an environment that makes
you feel like a person you aren’t.
